    What are some stupid things people have said you about snakes?

    Also, what are some things people have said to you about the snakes you have? Thanks.

    The title should say "what are some stupid things people have said to you about snakes?

    I told someone I was getting another ball python and they were like "But aren't you worried they'll gang up on you and suck your blood while you sleep?"

    I was speechless for a good ten minutes because of the stupidity of that comment.

    My pet peeve is when someone says that snakes are poisonous.

    About my new ball python" "But is he dangerous?"

    I understand that there are many people that have very little interaction with any animal beyond a dog, cat, bird, or fish. I do my best to not be irritated and just try to pass on a little information about snakes. Hopefully, the other party leaves better educated, and less fearful of exotic pets.

    Re: What are some stupid things people have said you about snakes?

    lol My funniest one is my grandmother for years would say get rid of the snakes and get a girlfriend. I meet a girl and now she saying loose the girlfriend and keep the snakes ( cause she not a local girl I guess) The best part was when I told her I was talking to a girl and she likes snakes.

    I not sure how many times i came back to my grandmothers house cutting grass with a couple snakes and ask for a pillow case to put them in. lol Best time was when asking forbutter knives to remove one and she freakign all out that it was venomous and every ready to call 911 lol.. I was laughing so much I it took 10 minutes to remove the little grater snake

    Re: What are some stupid things people have said you about snakes?

    When I told a guy that I work with that I purchased my first ball python, he exclaimed, "Man, aren't you afraid it's going to eat your dog?" I replied with..."My dog is 110 lbs, if my little ball python eats my dog, my dog is an idiot"

    And I should've said so was he for asking
